Art and culture hold a high place in the town. Regular art exhibitions at the Kulturmühle, the popular “Jazz im Schloss” concert series, and the “FerienKultur” program—featuring the Summer Night Festival, the open-air cinema, and Children’s Theater Week—are testament to this.
Since the 2009 Garden Show, the Im Töbele Landscape Park has offered plenty of space for relaxation, and the Luftikus observation tower provides a fantastic view stretching from the Albtrauf to the Dreikaiserberge.
Rechberghausen has many facets; you can explore some of them on the new recreational trails—we hope you enjoy your walk.
